*** this review refers to the Oak Flat campground along the Sespe trail and is accessible by backpackers only, 7 miles from Piedra Blaca parking lot***.

We camped right before Oak flat and right along the Sespe river (15 yards away). There’s a path that goes down from the main trail, and the campsite is right there under a tree. Fire pit is there (stone). We filled up our water at a spot about 39 yards upstream, just bc it’s flowing better. Nearest other campers were out of sight. Busy enough to feel safe, quiet enough to have peace and feel like you’re alone. 7.3 miles to our spot from Piedra Blanca parking.
